“Whether or not it is clear to you, the Universe is unfolding as it should.”
This poem, the Desiderata, was popular when I was a teenager in the 1970’s. I remember hanging the poster on my closet door—between Bobby Sherman and Davey Jones of the Monkees. At the time it made very little impact on me. I thought it was pretty, but I was busy chasing boys and singing in Glee club!
The other day I was reminded of it, so I looked it up. Shit! I had to share this with you guys! This thing feels more relevant than ever!
The Universe quote above—holy cow! I’m JUST getting that! Now—after forty plus years!
“Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.”
Silence? Peace? Oh man! I needed that yesterday!
“Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.”
Right?! So true! That 3am awefulizing that we all indulge in occasionally. FEAR.
The take away? Old posters from the walls of your teenage bedroom possess a wisdom you were completely unaware of! (Maybe I absorbed some of it through osmosis!) AND…
“Even with it’s broken dreams; it is still a beautiful world.”
“Strive to be happy.”
Love you guys!
